Up toward the york area. I have really enjoyed the limited time I was able to visit in such a wonderful country.

The apple trees have outdone themselves this year - I have never seen such a harvest on my two trees. The branches were bowed right down under the weight.
Some of the cider makers were even giving it away at various gatherings as they ran out of storage for it.
